Summer 2010 plant project suggestions

[Izzie]

Thought I'd say- Hauserman's will ship to Canada if a plant cannot be found there. And they're having a 20% off sale right now!

I still think it would be neat to do a Dendrobium, even if we aren't doing the moniliforme, and since we've only done one other Den. Some prices are a little higher than $20, but I believe that's mainly in EUR and Canada.....:/

So here goes!
Dendrobium parishii IOSPE PHOTOS
Available at Oak Hill, and Hauserman's.
EU- Orchideen Lucke
:X Can't find one available in Canada, but there are some on ebay...

Dendrobium laevifolium IOSPE PHOTOS
This is one of my favorites, people in Canada would have to order from Hauserman's- http://www.orchidsbyhausermann.com/M...Category_Code=
Großräschener- http://www.orchideenwlodarczyk.de/sh...49ca9296f68a67 not sure about money conversion, is 25 Euros too pricey?

Dendrobium oligophyllum IOSPE PHOTOS
Another charming, easy growing mini.
$15 at Oak Hill
Großräschener- EUR 12.01 Dendrobium oligophyllum - Großräschener Orchids
however....BS at Orchids in our tropics for Canada, is $35....:X

Dendrobium kingianum IOSPE PHOTOS
I know this one is rather common, but I think it would be great for those participants who want an super easy, rewarding plant.
Santa Barbara Orchid Estate has a bunch of different varieties that could really make it interesting! It's also available at Oak Hill for cheap as well.
$24 fs at Paramount- Species
8,90 € at Orchideen- Orchideen Lucke

Dendrobium unicum IOSPE PHOTOS
I know this "unique" den is well love by a few people on here.

I can't say enough about this hardy little guy.
Not in Canada, but it's $20 at Hauserman's.

There's also Dendrobium chrysotoxum IOSPE PHOTOS
but it's pushing it price-wise. $28-30 at Paramount, $25 at Hauserman's, $20 at OH, but it's cheap in Europe- EUR 12,50 Nardotto e Capello Shop
